Summer Band and Marching Band

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to remind members of the Summer Band that we have one more performance this summer on Saturday, August 23rd. We will be playing at the MHS Marching Band Preview Picnic beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the high school. Please bring the picnic food you've been assigned, and join us for a cookout before the performance! Don't forget your music and instrument, too!

You all played great at Mt. Olympus, and I enjoyed the friendly go-cart competition. Next time, don't expect me to be so courteous on the track ;) Oh, and Connor, even though you broke the roller coaster first thing in the morning, I still enjoyed racing in the afternoon.

The MHS Marching Band is once again looking and sounding great. It's an ensemble I'm continously impressed by, and we're very lucky as a community to have such a great group. A quick piece of business: the North Prairie Harvest Festival is a week later than we originally thought, so there is a calendar adjustment. The parade will be on Sunday the 21st rather than the 14th. That will be our busiest weekend of the season, with the first FB game on the 19th, Germantown Marching Festival on the 20th, and the parade the 21st. On the other hand, it just freed up your weekend of the 13th!

Looking forward to seeing everyone for our performance on Saturday the 23rd. Don't worry; if there's inclement weather, we'll perform inside. We'll find a way to feed everyone, too!
-TG
